Sonel turned 5 on Wednesday! He couldn't wait to blow out his candles. He hasn't yet tasted his cake...it's too sweet for him. He has started eating ice cream though. Here's a couple of videos. I wish I could get him to talk more, but he get's really shy when the camera comes on. Can you tell how much he has grown???!!!
Sonel is here in the US for surgery on his 2 club feet. This blog is to record Sonel's journey.
SONEL'S JOURNEY
Sonel is in the US to have surgery on his 2 club feet. This blog is to record his journey to walking "normally". He walks, runs, and even dances on his club feet, but children with handicaps are not allowed to go to school in Haiti. I can't wait to see him wearing shoes for the first time!
A group from our church went to Haiti in June of 2006. My heart would never be the same. I can't wait to go back, but for now, I have a little bit of Haiti with me. My family and I are hosting a little boy with 2 club feet, that will be corrected by castings and surgery, over the next few months. We have a grand daughter, Hope, age 9, that lives with us and is a great help and playmate for Sonel. We are taking one day at a time and letting God lead us in our journey of watching this little boy be changed forever.
